Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Zephyr RTOS)
Cambridge | Hybrid Work from Home

If Zephyr RTOS is your bread and butter, and I mean properly your bread and butter rather than something you once dabbled with on a dev kit over a wet weekend, then I would very much like to hear from you.
A client of KO2's, a genuinely expanding engineering business, is looking to bring a Senior Embedded Software Engineer into its Cambridge software team.

Secure communications: authentication, encryption, secure firmware update and system hardening
Embedded Linux work on Yocto based platforms, including services, daemons, device drivers and middleware
Leading root cause analysis when things go awry, and wri...
